FOREWORD. 


The 1923 legislature appropriated $1,000 for the compilation of a 
history of the Kansas State Guard, in order to perpetuate the 
memory of that organization and its service during the World War. 
All available data has been used in the publication of this volume 
and it is the best that could be prepared with the limited amount of 
funds provided for the purpose. , 

The Kansas State Guard took a very important part in the world’s 
greatest conflict. In addition to training the youth to enter the fed- 
eral service, performing guard duty, and assisting the various drives 
to finance our combat troops, they maintained the patriotism of the 
communities at high ebb and inspired all civilians to revere the 
name of America, which was an invaluable aid to the state. 

I take this opportunity to express the appreciation of the state of 
Kansas to the former officers and men of the State Guard who so 
willingly gave their time and financial assistance to protect our 
citizens while the National Guardsmen were on the firing line. 

M. R. McLEAN, 
The Adjutant General, 


Kansas.

THE HOME GUARD. 


Prior to 1917 the citizens of Kansas did not bestow much thought upon pro- 
tecting municipal and industrial properties by organized bodies of troops. 
When we entered the World War the municipalities assumed that in the Na- 
tional Guard the state offered ample protection against sabotage and destruc- 
tion of property by alien sympathizers. 

Stories of espionage published in eastern papers, exaggerated through the 
constantly reiterated repetitions of overzealous and excitable but well-mean- 
ing patriots, soon brought Kansas to look upon any person having the 
shghtest trace of German origin or connection with suspicion. Every com- 
munity had its tales based upon its fearful imaginings of pro-German ac- 
tivities. 

To the excited public every necessary utility was menaced with ever-present 
destruction by enemy aliens or German sympathizers. The peak of this war 
hysteria was reached in 1918. Its effects were evident, however, in many lo- 
calities in the earlier days of the war. 

On April 17, 1917, the State Council of Defense was organized in the Gov- 
ernor’s office at Topeka. The object of the organization, as set out in the 
Council’s history, edited by Prof. Frank W. Blackmar, and published in 1920, 
was “to mobilize all of the resources of the state for the support of the war.” 
After organization the Council was divided into a number of departments, to 
one of which the Department of Public Defense was assigned the duty of or- 
ganizing the Home Guards “for the protection of local property.” Immediately 
after the meeting of the Defense Council in April, 1917, the organization of 
Home Guard units was begun in many communities. The first company to be 
enrolled was located at Kansas City, Kan., and its organization was completed 
in April, 1917. From this initial unit approximately 150 companies were or- 
ganized throughout the state. Few, if any, of the sponsors for the Home 
-Guard movement in the state had knowledge of military organization, and the 
plans adopted by the Council bore little semblance to an orderly and effective 
organization of a military force. It has been stated that many of those active 
in the original organization expressed the desire that the Home Guard be non- 
military in its character, and we find evidence of this intent in the instructions 
printed on the original blanks used for enrollment of members. These in- 
structions stated that the Home Guard “is a civilian organization and has no 
connection with the military service of the state of Kansas or of the United 
States.” ‘Under the plan of organization adopted by the Council, the officers 
of each company were a commander, a surgeon, a recorder, and a treasurer. 
Mayors of cities of the first and second class were appointed as commanders 
of the units in their respective cities. In localities other than in cities of the 
first or second class, the sheriff of the county was appointed such commander. 
The other officers of the company were elected by vote of the members. The 
four officers named above were authorized to appoint additional officers, whose 
duty it was to instruct the company in military subjects, and together with 


(5) 


6 Adjutant General’s Department. 


the officers so appointed by them, constituted an executive committee having 
full charge and management of all affairs of the organization. 

Other than the action taken by the Council of Defense, no official recogni- 
tion was given to the Home Guard by the state, and the organization had no 
official state status until August 6, 1917. On August 5, 1917, civic bodies 
awoke to the realization that the National Guard had changed its character 
overnight, and was from that date a part of the army of the United States and 
no longer subjéct to orders of state officials. This departure gave impetus to 
the Home Guard movement in the larger cities of the state, and emphasized 
the needs of the organization for arms and ammunition. Five hundred Spring- 
field rifles, cal. 45, were on hand in the state arsenal at the outbreak of the 
war. These guns, while in serviceable condition, were of an obsolete type, 
which had been issued in bygone years to the state for use of the militia. 
The rifles were used by a number of the Home Guard companies for drill pur- 
poses for several months. On receipt of the Russian rifles hereinafter referred 
to, the companies were directed to return the Springfields. In obedience to 
the order, 400 were received. The remainder were lost or retained by members 
who refused to turn them in to their company officers. Many of those re- 
turned were in unserviceable condition, badly rusted, and otherwise damaged 
through carelessness and neglect. An El] Dorado company had rendered the 
guns returned by it worthless by sawing off a foot or more of every barrel; 
probably this was done upon the theory that the guns were longer than neces- 
sary, and carried too much gun metal. 

The act of congress of June 14, 1917, authorized the issue of arms and am- 
munition by the government to Home Guard organizations. On September 
26, 1917, the Governor forwarded a requisition to Washington for 100 rifles, 
ammunition, etc., for use of the Kansas City organization; this issue to be 
used by men on guard duty at the following industrial plants in that city: Na- 
tional Zine Company, 8 men; Armour & Co., 46 men; Peet Brothers Manufac- 
turing Company, 35 men; Kansas City Soap Company, 2 men; Ismert-Hincke 
Milling Company,’3 men; Thomas Ruddy Company, 6 men. This requisition 
was returned by the War Department with the information that the state 
should advise the Ordnance Department relative to the number of rifles de- 
sired for issue to the entire Home Guard of the state, the War Department 
desiring to act upon the needs of the Home Guard of the state as an entity. 
The state authorities delayed action until after the disbandment of the Home 
Guard. Thus the organization received no arms other than those referred to 
in the preceding portion of this paragraph. 

The activities of the Home Guard were largely confined to weekly meet- 
ings and drills, and to individual and organization participation in patriotic 
movements in the various communities of the state. There was no expense 
incurred by the state in the organization and maintenance of the Home 
Guard. 

By executive order dated February 15, 1918, a reorganization was effected 
under the designation of “The Kansas State Guard.” Under the provisions 
of this order members of the newly created State Guard were subject to call 
for duty in any part of the state. For this reason many organizations of the 
Home Guard, whose liability for service under the original organization plan 
was limited to duty in the county or city in which their respective units 


Kansas State Guard. 7 


were stationed, did not desire to reorganize and assume the enlarged obli- 
gations of service. The Home Guard ceased to function as an organization 
on February 15, 1918, and its members and organizations, not desiring to re- 
enroll in the Kansas State Guard, were considered by the state as having 
been mustered out on that date. 

The Home Guard was a community organization, with little supervision 
exercised by the state. No funds were available to meet the expense of 
clerical hire necessary for the successful operation of a state headquarters 
for the organization. Such administrative work as was carried on by the 
state was handled as a secondary matter by state officials and employees 
whose principal duties lay in other directions. Few reports were required 
from organizations and few records of value are therefore on file in this 
department. Those few records, however, indicate the organization of Home 
Guard units in the state. | 


THE WYANDOTTE HOME GUARDS. 


For instance, a delegation of Kansas City men called upon the Governor 
on August 5, 1917, with a view of securing state or government issue of arms 
and ammunition for the Home Guard organizations of Wyandotte county, 
and of obtaming for the organization official state recognition. The attorney 
general having ruled that under the statutes, if the organization was to func- 
tion as an armed force, it was necessary that specific permission to bear arms 
be granted by the Governor. The conference held with the party from Kansas 
City led to the promulgation of the executive order of August 6, 1917, author- 
izing the organization of the Wyandotte Home Guards, with Harry A. Men- 
denhall, mayor of Kansas City, Kan., as commander. A similar executive 
order was issued from the Governor’s office to cover the organization of each 
Home Guard unit in the state. By-laws, drawn by the Defense Council and 
approved by the Governor, were adopted as a model, after which by-laws of 
all Home Guard units should be patterned. A copy of the executive order 
authorizing the organization of the Wyandotte Home Guards, together with 
copy of standard by-laws adopted by the Defense Council, appear below. 


EXECUTIVE ORDER. 


THE SraTe oF KANSAS, OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR. 
T'o All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greeting: 


Know Ye, That inasmuch as a state of war exists between the United

and mustered into the service of the general government, thus for the time 
being depriving the state of the benefit of its active militia, and at the same 
time for the better protection and security of persons and property within 
the state, making necessary and advisable the organization and maintenance 
of constabulary forces or Home Guards in the several communities of the 
state. 

And it appearing that a local organization of Home Guards has been formed 
in Wyandotte county, in the state of Kansas, in manner and form as outlined 
in the report of the Home Guard Committee of the Council of Defense of 
the state of Kansas, approved by me on June 6, 1917, which organization is 
designated “Wyandotte Home Guards,” and in substantial compliance with 
the recommendations of said committee has adopted by-laws which were ap- 
proved by me and filed in the office of the Adjutant General of the state of 
Kansas on the sixth day of August, 1917:

THE KANSAS STATE GUARD. 


The organization of the Kansas State Guard was authorized by the Governor 
on February 15, 1918. During the preceding year there had existed in the 
state a civilian organization known as the Home Guard, a brief history of 
which is set out in the foregoing pages. A number of causes led to the abolish- 
ment of the Home Guard and its reorganization as the Kansas State Guard. — 
Principal among these causes was the absence of statutory authority for the ~ 
maintenance of such a force in the state. Questions relative to authority and 
police power of officers and organizations of the Home Guard were constantly 
confronting the state officials, and with no definite authority of law for the 
existence of the organization, these officials were often placed in an em- 
barrassing position in solving the problems submitted to them. . The control 
of each unit by a committee composed of civilians, whose interest in many 
cases was either merely passive or wholly lacking, led to dissatisfaction and 
inactive organizations. It was believed that through a reorganization the 
weak companies of the Home guard might be disbanded and the active units 
formed into an organization of value to the state and community. 

The original draft of the reorganization plan submitted to the Adjutant 
General provided for the organization of two infantry regiments of twelve 
companies each, organization of the regiments to conform to the peace-time 
organization of like units of the Regular Army. Provision was made for 
physical examination of applicants for commission and enlistment in the new 
force and the rejection of those not physically qualified for active service. So 
far as possible, requirements for membership and commission and the obliga- 
tion of the officers and enlisted men were made to conform to regulations 
governing the National Guard of the state as it existed prior to entry into 
United States service. It was desired, if possible, to establish a force which 
might be at some later date easily converted as a National Guard organization. 
The proposal to limit the number of units of State Guard to be organized, 
and the requirements for membership, failed to meet the approval of the 
Adjutant General, and a compromise plan was adopted, providing for the 
organization of an unlimited number of battalions and separate companies, 
with no requirement for membership other than that the applicant be a citizen 
of the United States over the age of eighteen. The organization plan finally 
adopted and approved by the Governor is set out in Executive Order No. 1, 
dated February 15, 1918, reading as follows: 


STaTE oF Kansas, THE GoverNor’s OFFICE, 
TorEKA, February 15, 1918. 
Executive Order No. 1. 

1. Executive order of this office, bearing date of August 5, 1917, is hereby 
revoked, and the following substituted therefor: 

2. The Kansas State Guard shall be subject to the call of the Governor 
for active service within the state, and shall be organized and maintained under 
the following conditions: 

(a) Opsecr. The object of the formation of the Kansas State Guard shall 
be to promote, develop and foster loyalty and patriotism for flag and country; 
to furnish elementary military training and knowledge to its members for 
the purpose of enabling them to enter the service in defense of the country 
when called upon to do so, and to aid and assist in the federal military 
service locally in such matters as the promotion of enlistments; the raising and 


Kansas State Guard. fia 


distributing of funds for military purposes; to form, constitute and act as a 
constabulary force in and for the state, county or city in which organized; 
to perform services for the nation, state or municipality in the protection of 
property and persons. 


(6b) OrcanizaTION. Authority for organization of a unit of the Kansas 
State Guard will be given by the Adjutant General. Whenever it is deemed 
advisable to organize a company or other unit of the Kansas State Guard, the 
sheriff of the county, the mayor of the city of the first or second class, 
or any reliable citizen of the county or city in which it is desired to organize 
such unit, shall make application to the Adjutant General for authority to 
organize, setting out in such application the approximate number of applicants 
for membership in such organization, a statement of the probable moral and 
financial support to be given to the organization by the community, and 
such other facts as will be of value in determining the advisability of the 
organization. 

(c) Destanation. If deemed advisable by the Adjutant General, units of 
the Kansas State Guard may be grouped into battalions of four companies. 
Such battalion shall be designated by number, and the companies com- 
prising such battalion shall be designated by letters, A, B, C and D. Addi- 
tional companies may be attached to such battalions for administrative pur- 
poses, such attached companies to be designated by letters, E, F, G, ete. 
Separate companies not comprising a part of, or attached to, a battalion shall 
be designated by letters A, B, C, etc., followed by the name of the county or 
city in which organized. 

(d) Mempersuip. Every loyal male citizen of the United States over the 
age of eighteen years shall be eligible to membership in the Kansas State 
Guard: Provided, That such membership shall be in a unit whose station 
is within the county of the applicant’s residence. 

(e). Orricers. There shall be commissioned by the Governor one Major, 
commanding officer of each battalion, and in addition thereto, for each battal- 
ion, one Captain (adjutant), one Captain (supply officer), and one Captain 
(surgeon). In each company there shall be commissioned one Captain, one 
First Lieutenant, and one Second Lieutenant. 

(f) OrGANIZATION or ComMPANIES. It is recommended that companies be 
organized with the following personnel: 


1 Captain, commanding. 2 Cooks. 

1 First Lieutenant. 2 Musicians. 
1 Second Lieutenant. 1 Artificer, 
1 First Sergeant. 48 Privates. 
1 Quartermaster Sergeant. rae 

4 Sergeants. 68 Total. 


6 Corporals. 


(g) Executive Commirrer. The sheriff of the county or the mayor of the 
city of the first or second class in which a unit or units of the Kansas State 
Guard are located shall be ex officio chairman of an executive committee, 
which shall have charge, under supervision of the Adjutant General, of all 
financial and administrative affairs of the units represented on such committee. 

(h) Regular meetings of each organization of the Kansas State Guard 
shall be held at least four times each month, on such dates and at such hours 
and places as may be designated by the executive committee. Special meetings 
may be called at any time. mos 

(i) Attention is called to the state and federal laws prohibiting unauthor- 
ized organizations to bear arms, and emphasizing the necessity of obtaining 
authority of the Governor before armed organizations can be allowed. 

(j) Such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the pro- 
visions of this order’ shall be published from time to time by The Adjutant 
General in the form of orders, circulars, memoranda, etc. 

ArtHuR Capper, Governor of Kansas. 


12 Adjutant General’s Department. 


The state’s interest in the new organization was immediately reflected in 
the various communities of the state. Men active in public affairs throughout 
the state gave to the organization their heartiest support and encouragement. 
Public meetings were held in hundreds of towns of the state and scores of 
companies were immediately recruited. In many instances the muster-in of 
the new companies was made a public ceremony of importance in the com- 
munity. Chambers of coramerce, community clubs and similar bodies pledged 
their moral and financial support to the organization, and funds were raised 
by popular subscription for the purchase of uniforms for many companies. 
Notwithstanding an opinion of the attorney-general that such action was con- 
trary to law, county commissioners in a number of counties voted public 
funds for purchase of equipment for units of the State Guard. Instances of 
this character are cited as an evidence of the enthusiasm with which the or- 
ganizations were supported in many communities of the state. 

In the judgment of those interested in reorganization of the Home Guard, 
it was believed probable that approximately fifty companies of State Guard 
could be organized in the state. This number of organizations was recruited 
within a few days after organization was authorized. The hundred mark was 
soon passed. In all, 281 companies of State Guard were organized, with an 
average membership per company of sixty-five men. It is probable that 
during the existence of the State Guard, from its organization on February 
15, 1918, to its muster-out on November 11 of the following year, at least 
20,000 men served in the organization. The numerous organizations and large 
personnel made it impossible for the state headquarters, with the few clerks 
authorized for the work, to administer the organization in the manner neces- 
sary to secure the best results. A great number of the organizations were uni- 
formed at personal or public expense. Weekly drills, by company or battalion, 
were held. Men anticipating induction into United States service under the 
selective-service law joined the organization in order to benefit by such military 
instruction as might be imparted by its officers. The desire to take an active 
part in patriotic movements in their community induced many men to join the 
organization. In the public mind, every citizen was expected to become active 
in some war work, and the State Guard offered to many citizens the opportunity 
of giving public testimony of their patriotism. In peace time, an organization 
of this character, offering no financial returns for the time devoted to its 
activities, would probably have failed in the initial stages of its development. 
The entire character and viewpoint of the people of the state was so changed by 
the war that little was required to stir them into a patriotic fervor, the only 
outlet for which was to join some organization engaged in warlike activities. 

Lack of military equipment greatly hampered the organizations in their 
desire to assume a military appearance and to give color to the organization’s 
claim of being state troops. Innumerable inquiries were received at the state 
headquarters relative to the possibility of securing arms for the various com- 
panies. The Russian revolution left the United States ordnance department 
with several million military rifles on hand, manufactured under orders from 
the imperial government, the shipment of which had been held up pending 
establishment of a stable government in that country. Information having 
been received from the War Department that these rifles were available for 
issue to Home and State Guard organizations of the various states, requisition 


Kansas State Guard. : 13 


was forwarded to Washington, and 1,278 rifles, with a large quantity of ammu- 
nition, were received by the state. A few of these rifles were shipped out to 
two or three companies of the State Guard as trial issues. It was later decided, 
however, that the better policy would be to hold the remainder of the ship- 
~ ment in original packing cases in the state arsenal, rather than to distribute 
the entire lot among the organizations. The Governor had assumed respon- 
sibility for the proper care and ultimate return of the rifles to the government, 
and it was found after a short trial that rifles furnished the organizations were 
in certain cases not given the care necessary to keep them in serviceable con- 
dition. A few months after the armistice, guns in the hands of organizations 
were recalled, and on April 30, 1919, the entire lot was returned to the govern- 
ment arsenal. 

On May 4, 1918, authority was received from the War Department for the 
organization in Kansas of two regiments of National Guard infantry. Circular 
letters, setting out the requirements for organization and membership in the 
National Guard, were mailed out to all State Guard units, it being the desire 
of the department to recruit the National Guard from among the units of the 
State Guard then existing in the state. The War Department having an- 
nounced that the newly organized National Guard units would not be called 
for service overseas, it was considered that many of the State Guard units 
would probably embrace the opportunity of entering the service of the state 
and nation as members of a military force recognized by the government and 
fully equipped and maintained at state and government expense. Much to 
the surprise and disappointment of those interested in the organization of the 
National Guard, the opportunity of entering the National Guard service met 
- with little response from members of the State Guard units. In some localities 
of the state in which recruiting for the National Guard was begun there was 
evidence of an undercurrent of antagonism on the part of officers and en- 
listed men of the State Guard. Of the 281 companies of State Guard there 
were but six companies whose entire eligible membership was enlisted in the 
National Guard. The remaining units were mustered out on November 11, 
1919, by order of the Governor. 

The activities of the State Guard were confined to participation in weekly 
drills, patriotic parades, assistance in Liberty Loan, Red Cross and kindred 
“drives,” instruction of men anticipating early induction into the army, and 
in a few cases to the furnishing of guard details for property protection. Other 
than such expense as was incurred for postage and clerical hire at state head- 
quarters, and for the transportation of rifles and ammunition referred to in 
a preceding paragraph, the maintenance of the State Guard was without ex- 
pense to the state. The duties performed were rendered voluntarily and 
without pay, and such expenses as were incurred by the organization were met 
by personal or community contributions. 

The Governor’s proclamation demobilizing the State Guard was signed on 
October 15, 1919. Copy of this proclamation, together with copies of orders 
from this office providing for the closing of records and affairs of the various 
units, the organization’s participation in the Armistice Day celebration, and 
the designation of the official service button, follow:

PROCLAMATION DIRECTING DEMOBILIZATION. 
KANSAS STATE GUARD. 


Wuereas, There has come to my attention the very general desire on the 
part of the ‘members of the Kansas State Guard for demobilization; and 


Wuereas, The cessation of the war having brought about such return to 
normal conditions that their services are no longer needed, I have chosen 
November 11, 1919, as the date upon which the demobilization of the Kansas 
State Guard shall be complete. 

The Kansas State Guard came into existence as a voluntary organization 
during the war, and at a time when there were many opportunities for it to 
serve the state. Its presence was a guaranty against disorder that might arise 
in Kansas communities during the war. It gave great assistance in the various 
patriotic drives which were necessary during these trying periods. It stood al- 
Ways as an exponent of Americanism and the patriotic performance of duty. 
Many men subject to draft received their first training in its ranks, and went 
from the State Guard better prepared for the army activities because of the 
training and experience in this state organization. During the various cele- 
brations in honor of the soldiers returning from overseas, the State Guard has 
served with dignity and effectiveness. 

In giving this direction for its final demobilization, I wish to record the 
gratitude of the state for the splendid services which the State Guard has 
rendered in peculiar times. It was one of the absolutely necessary organiza- 
tions of the war, and its voluntary membership gave to the duties of the or- 
‘ganization, which were often exacting, unselfish and untiring energies. 

In Wirness Wuereor, I have caused to be affixed the great seal of the 
state of Kansas. 

Done at the state capitol, in the city of Topeka, this 15th day of October, 
1919. Henry J. ALLEN, Governor of Kansas. 

L. J. Petrysoun, Secretary of State.

GENERAL ORDERS, | 
INO aL: : 

1. Service Burron. In recognition of the service, patriotism and loyalty of 
the Kansas State Guardsmen to state and country during the World War, I 
hereby designate a service emblem for the Kansas State Guard, to be known 
as the “official service button of the Kansas State Guard,’ a description of 
which follows: 


2. Description. The button is circular, five-eighths inch diameter. The 
center is a sunflower slightly raised, in bronze, which represents the state of 
Kansas. Surrounding the sunflower is an inlay of blue enamel; through this 
enamel there appears the words, in gold, “State Guard, World War.” These 
words and the sunflower taken together symbolizes the state troops and the 
particular service rendered by them. The rim is beveled and composed of 
gold. The button consists of two pieces with screw fastener, and is made for 
the lapel. 

3. By WHom Worn. This official button may be worn by all members of 
the Kansas State Guard, whether honorably discharged or still remaining in 
the service. 

4. How OpstaInep. These buttons can be obtained from A. R. Neville, 516

all orders as promptly as possible.

Considerable difficulty was experienced in securing action on the part of 
company commanders in completing discharges for members of the State 
Guard mustered out on November 11, 1919, in pursuance of proclamation of 
the Governor. Of the 281 companies organized, commanding officers of 50 
companies failed to complete muster-out rolls and discharges for their com- 
mand. Concerning these companies the records of the Adjutant General’s 
office are, therefore, incomplete, no evidence of final discharge being on file. 
The provisions of the Governor’s proclamation fixing the date of final muster- 
out and discharge as of November 11, 1919, govern the matter, however, and 
service of officers and men in the State Guard is considered to have been 
terminated on that date. 

The roster of Kansas State Guard units, organized during the period from 
February 15, 1918, to November 11, 1919, furnishing muster-out rolls, is set 
forth below.

or enlisted in the Kansas National Guard. I am positive that the men of this organization 
who entered the United States service were better qualified on account of the training received 
with the state guard.

At Paola, May 30, 1918, Company C participated in Memorial services with the Grand 


Army of the Republic. 


On July 4, 1918, it was reviewed by Governor Capper and Adjutant General Charles S. 


Huffman at Olathe. Three battalions were present. 


Company C won first honors in the ex- 


hibition drill. The organization was well entertained with a fine dinner by the ladies of Olathe. 

The organization went to La Cygne county fair on August 29, 1918, and in competition 
with several other state guard companies, won first prize—a large United States flag. We 
were splendidly entertained for dinner and supper by the Red Cross ladies of La Cygne. 

The unit attended the Franklin county fair at Ottawa on September 18, 1918, and in com- 
petition with five state guard companies, it won first honors—a cash prize of $200. 

On November 11, 1918, in Paola, the company had charge of celebrating the signing of 
the Armistice, and at night it went to Spring Hill and participated in the celebration at that 


place—a big time. The Kaiser was hanged and burned in effigy. 


The company was never defeated in any competition and was always ready for a contest. 
On July 28 the company was called to protect the county jail against a threatened mob. 
Members responded well, but no mob appeared. The unit was called out again to run down

train robbers. It was a fruitless chase, as the call came too late and the robbers escaped to 
Kansas City. 


A full company was maintained from date of organization to muster-out. It was equipped 
with uniform, shoes, shirts, and forty old Springfield rifles. We had a fine armory, and en- 


tertainments were given to pay expenses. All debts were paid; $300 in treasury. Members 
have been loyal.

ACTIVITIES. 


Company A drilled at least once each week. The 7th Battalion drilled two or three times 
a month, assisting in conducting officers and noncommissioned officers’ school once each week. 
Men, subject to military service, were given fundamental training in the school of the soldier. 
Manual of arms, squad leading and all close-order drill in units up to the battalion. We 
took up guard duty, informal guard mount, bayonet work, and spent considerable time on 
open order drill, skirmish, etc. This instruction proved valuable to many of our men who 
were taken in the federal service. We assisted in Liberty loan and Red Cross drives and in 
various patriotic celebrations staged at different times and battalion parades. On the Fourth 
of July we passed in review before Governor Capper and Adjutant General Huffman. At 
various times we furn‘shed guard details for government aéroplanes which alighted in this 
vicinity. The company furnished military escorts at two funcrals of men who died in United 
States service, and escorts to various draft contingents as they were called. We furnished 
military police at several celebrations of various kinds and conducted several successful cele- 
brations—-one on the Fourth of July, and another on Armistice Day.

Richardson, N. L., 


During its two years service, about 240 were enlisted in its ranks, and received various 
terms of military training, many of whom went into the United States army and navy, some 
into the National Guard, while others removing from the city carried their enthusiasm and 
experience to other units. 

What constitutes a body of well disciplined men have continued in the service with a full 
complement of officers to answer as their names were called at final muster-out roll call.

Company ‘“‘B,” 97TH BarTaLion, TopEKA—Concluded. 


During its active service, over 100 regular company drills were held in which infantry drill 
was fairly well mastered and put into weekly practice. 

The officers held frequent noncommissioned officers schools and the promotions were made 
upon proficiency and term of service. 

In addition to its weekly (often twice a week) drills, Company B participated in over 
forty special patriotic events, sometimes with the entire battalion; but often alone, when the 
other companies could not respond. 

_These special occasions were parades, the guarding of troop trains, etc., incident to the 
going-away and the home-coming of soldiers, and in the many World War, Liberty loan, Red 
Cross drive campaigns, and Armistice and victory celebrations. 

_ During the influenza epidemic, fall and winter of 1918-1919, Company B furnished the 
military escort, volley firing detail and bugler for full military honors at the funerals of nu- 
merous United States soldiers brought to Topeka for burial; and this was often at a time 
when the epidemic was so severe that indoor services were not held and only services at the 
grave permitted. 

Company B furnished one major, five captains, eight lieutenants, two battalion color ser- 
geants, three battalion supply sergeants, and one battalion sergeant major for state guard serv- 
ice, while several went from the company who obtained commissions and warrants in the 
United States army. 

During its entire service, Company B maintained a complete and ever-ready unit of Kan- 
sas militia; and it never failed to respond to any call of duty, although it often caused much 
personal and business sacrifice. 

While not permitted to go overseas it tried to keep “‘the home fires burning,’ and is proud 
of its record in having given the elementary military training to almost one hundred young 
men who went from its ranks into United States military service, some of whom served upon 
the historic battle fields of France. 

Company B will always look back with satisfaction upon its humble service during the 
great World War, not because of what it did, but as to what it was willing to do had oppor- 
tunity offered.

ACTIVITIES. 


Company A drilled regularly once a week and in the fall of 1918 it drilled twice a week 
and took part in two contests at the county fairs. Four companies took part in these con- 
tests, Company A winning first place in one, and second place in the other. 

The unit was ready to take part in a big Liberty loan meeting, but did not get to do so 
on account of the state ban during the influenza and all meetings were called off. 

Company A had an auxiliary of ladies known as the ‘“‘blue cross’’ which was drilled by 
the officers of the state guard. This society also assisted the Red Cross and gave the branch 
at Sylvan Grove $157. -

This organization met for drill once every week and for battalion drill every two weeks, 
when weather conditions would permit. The period of drill was three hours. 
We did no active guard duty, but always stood in readiness should the call come. The 
members helped with Red Cross and Liberty loan drives and were always on parade at any 
* patriotic ceremony.

The Kensington home guards were mustered into the service of the state as the Kensing- 


ton State Guards on April 16, 1918. 


As the company had no funds available at the time of 


its organization, the individual members purchased their own uniforms and about three- 
fourths of the members purchased old army Springfields, SO that the company was really an 
armed force and were able to master the “Manual of Arms.’ 

The company was active in the various Liberty loans and Red Cross drives, and especially 
were we in evidence at the Red Cross auction at which over $4,000 was raised in Kensington 


and vicinity. 


At the signing of the armistice the company had charge of the big community celebration. 


A grand barbecue was planned, at which the company roasted a large ox, erected stands and 
accreditably served the mass of people gathered to vent their enthusiasm. Over $300 was 
raised for the Red Cross. The event of the evening was the burning of the Kaiser’s palace. 
Our company enjoyed the distinction of having one of the best bands in the state. This 
band, believing that they could be of greater service enlisted in the navy, and after a short 
term of training at the Great Lakes naval station they were chosen for service aboard the 8S. 8. 
George Washington, which carried President Wilson and his party to and from Europe.

ACTIVITIES. 


This company took part as an organization in several service flag c remonies at various 
churches over the county, and a patriotic service held in Smith Center, in June, 1918, at the 
time of the laying of the corner stone of the new court house. 

The organization stood guard with full company on the night of November 5, 1918, dur- 
ing celebration of the signing of the Armistice in Smith Center; attended twelve soldiers’ 
funerals in this county, giving such soldiers a full military burial, and going as far as the east 
side of Smith county to give one soldier his last rites. 

The majority of this company showed a full willingness to give of their time and energy 
in any sacrifice necessary to build and maintain a high conception of the patriotic duties owed 
to their country, and to the brave boys in the service of their country.” We materially assisted 
in developing in the hearts of all of our citizens of this community that fine spirit of sacrifice 
and assistance which was characteristic of all true American citizens, and, I believe, this com- 


pany deserves special mention and credit for their part in moulding public sentiment in this 
community.

ACTIVITIES. 


Company C took part, as an organization, in several flag ceremonies at the churches in the 
communities where the members resided, and had charge of Pawnee and Cora townships in 
Smith county in the drive for funds for the united war workers and made a creditable 
showing. 

The unit stood guard, together with Company B, at Smith Center on the night of No- 
vember 11, 1918. 

With the exception of three or four members, this company was composed of farmers. 
Consider:ng the shortage of help during the season of 1918, and the size and kinds of crops, 
the company des rves special praise for their devotion to the cause. When men have worked 
bard all day and all week, it takes one hundred per cent Americanism to inspire them to 
drive from five to ten miles to drill two or three hours of an evening, or on Sunday after- 
noons. Taken altogether, it is surprising that the attendance was as good as it was and 
gratifying to the officers that the organization made the progress it did.

ACTIVITIES. : 


The activities of this company were confined to elementary military training for the men 
about to enter United States service and enlisted men of the company. 

We gave the required assistance in bond and Red Cross drives. As chairman of the 
Christmas Red Cross roll call I used the individual members as far as possible. 

Our drilling was of one and one-half hours duration, twice a week.

While our Company E was not yet mustered in, we were organized, had our uniforms, and 
assisted in the third Liberty loan drive. The entire canvass for the fourth Liberty loan was 
conducted by our company. In all the drives in our locality we raised more than our quota. 

All our members were members of the Red Cross, and as an organization, we assisted in 
raising the quota and also in the ‘‘Seven-in-One” drive. We conducted a military funeral to 
a soldier who died in Camp Funston and was buried at Winona. We took an active part 
Memorial days and Fourth of July celebrations. Our company appeared in uniform at all 
public gatherings that were in any way related to the war, and on one occasion when Gover- 
nor Capper spoke at our hall. We furnished an escort to Sharon Springs where the governor 
spoke in the evening. Company E always participated in the farewell or home-coming recep- 
tions given the soldiers, and encouraged and assisted in enlistments among our own company 
and among others. Four of our men entered the service, one of whom is overseas at this time. 
In certain localities pro-Germans, anti-war agitators, and slackers were numerous and through 
the efforts of our guard, these people gained a wholesome respect for our government and 
came forward and did their part financially in the prosecution of the war.

Company A participated in all public activities during 1918, and patroled the streets on 
all holidays where it was necessary. 

The unit turned out in full force and escorted all contingents of drafted men to the en- 
training points; held regular drills every week, and on October 8, went into camp in Wright 
park at Dodge City with the other companies of the 16th Battalion, Kansas State Guard, 
expecting to stay four days, but the camp was ordered closed on the evening of the second 
day on account of the influenza. The company did guard duty at the Mexican camp for

Company B drilled twice each week, commencing at seven and ending at ten. We exe- 
cuted squad drills and company drills. 

The company was called into camp at Dodge City on October 8, 9, 10 and 11 by Major 
Evans. On account of the influenza the camp was disbanded the tenth. 

At each eall of government recruits the company would meet and escort them to the train. 
On October 8, 1918, three squads guarded the war-exhibit train in Cimarron. 

Due to the fact that this unit was composed principally of farmers it was not called on to 
assist in the Liberty loan and Red Cross campaigns, but a majority of its personnel bought 
bonds and contributed to the drives very freely. 


Each Decoration Day the company met 


governor. 


and participated in the program as ordered by the

Company C, 16th Battalion, Kansas State Guard was mustered into state service publicly 


on May 6, 1918, at a community meeting 


, and commenced its activities by drilling two and 


one-half hours each week, preparing for. "any emergency that might arise demanding their 
services, and by continuing such drills the company became efficient in the duties of the 


-soldier. 


On May 30, 1918, the company took part in the Decoration exercises at Bucklin, Kan., 
leading the procession to the Bucklin cemetery and firing a military salute in honor of the 


-dead soldiers. 


On September 12, 1918, the task of registering the eighteen- to twenty-one-year-old reg- 
istrants in the Ford district was left to the company, and Captain Vernie C. Robb, command - 
ing the company, was legally appointed as chief registrar, and was in supervision ‘of the reg- 


istration. 


The company was also given charge of drilling and giving military instructions to the reg- 
istered men before they were called to camp, and all registrants in the vicinity of Bloom, 
Kingsdown, Bucklin, and Ford, Kansas, were instructed to report at the armory of the com- 
pany for instructions and drill each week until they were called to camp. 

The company participated in the several drives for the war activities, such as the Red 
‘Cross, Liberty loans, Y. M. C. A., U. W. W. campaigns, and thrift-stamp sales, and took an 
active interest in promoting enlistments in the army. 

Company C, Ford’s unit of the 16th Battalion, Kansas State Guard, reported for duty at 


the armory, ‘Thursday morning, October 8, 1918, at 7 a. m., 


and left for camp at Wright park 


in Dodge City, Kan., in the face of a prospective rain, which fortunately failed to dampen 
the spirits of the men. The advance guard of the company reached camp at 8:30 and found 
that Company A of Dodge City had been putting in the early hours to good effect in erecting 


tents and getting the grounds in some semblance of order. 
ing down tents and policing the company street; 


The morning was spent in stak- 
the work was not very appealing to most 


of the boys, but it gave them a fine appetite for the chow, which the efficient kitchen force 
handed out at noon. In the afternoon the regular routine work of an army camp was taken 
up, guard lines were established, and guards posted, who were in the main very efficient. 
Guard mounting the first day was held at 4:30 p.m., with Lieutenant Lyons of Company C 
as officer of the day. Guards were posted for the night, and it was soon time for mess: call, 
which was answered with great enthusiasm. The battalion was formed before Major Richard 
W. Evans at 7 p.m., and with the exception of the guards they went into Dodge City and 
-did police duty at the war trophy train sent out by the government in the interest of the 
fourth Liberty loan. It was estimated that over five thousand visited the train which the 
company assisted in handling and passing through the train. By midnight a reasonable de-

gree of silence descended upon the camp and quiet reigned supreme until 5:30 Wednesday 
morning, when the rude strains of reveille arous d the sleepers from their peaceful slumbers 
to the work of the day. Military discipline was more of evidence the second day. During 
the day Captain Surgeon Coffman received word from Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the 
State Board of Health that the government had signed a proclamation which would close all 
public gatherings for some time on account of the epidemic of Spanish influenza, and orders 
were promptly issued closing the camp to visitors and stopped the guards from leaving camp 
except on passes issued by the major. As soon as the quarantine was placed upon the camp, 
arrangements were made to break up the encampment, and the following day the company left 
for the armory in Ford, Kan., arriving at 11 a. m., October 10. 1918. 

The company was active in participating in parades and observing all patriotic movements, 
as well as assisting the local board of the county in handling the registrants when they were 


called to camp.

Company C was not called into active s*rvice at any time. It took part in all the Liberty 
loan and Victory loan bond drives, Red Cross and other drives during the World War, and by 
its assistance, this community was always among the first to go ‘over the top’’ in all its 
drives. 


The unit was active in recruiting for the army and navy during the war, and all its mem-

ACTIVITIES. 


Company B, Kansas State Guards, was composed of the common labor.ng class. On in- 
quiry I learn that about sixty per cent of my men bought Liberty bonds of different denomi- 
nations. Nearly all joined the Red Cross, and were active in all movements to aid in winning 
the war. Lieutenant Kimbrough and myself were special war deputies and we had the men 
to look sharp after pro-Germanism. 

The company was drilled regularly twice a week all summer and fall until the influenza 
broke in on us. Company B was considered one of the best drilled units in the county. 

We performed no guard duty as there was none to do. The men were loyal, and could be 


depended on in any emergency.

ACTIVITIES. 


Except for a few military funerals this organization took part in no war activities of a 
public nature, but its influence upon the community was far-reaching. 

By giving public drills and attending public gatherings, as an organization, it did much to 
quell the pro-German propaganda and at the same time arouse the dormant patriotism of our 
citizens. Many of the boys who went to the army received valuable preliminary training in 
ous company. 

We feel that in a measure we have kept the faith of our fathers.

Company B performed guard duty twice; once at a fire, and at another time guarded gov- 
ernment airplanes. It, also, took a prominent place in the program of a Red Cross picnic 
given for the purpose of raising funds. At this time we gave a sham battle which was quite 
an attraction and drew a large crowd. A number of the members at different time were the 
leaders in this county in soliciting for the Liberty loans and Red Cross. 

The unit, also, on numerous occasions, acted as an escort for funerals, departing soldiers 
leaving to join the colors, and for soldier home-coming celebrations.

A weekly noncommissioned officers’ school was held. 
During the later months, drill work was © 


interfered with seriously by the influenza epidemic which prevailed. A fair degree of efficiency 


‘was reached in the drill movements. 


The members looked eagerly toward the time when they 


should be provided with arms, but they were disappointed in not receiving them. The com- 
pany was fully uniformed and the expense of the same was borne by each individual member. 

The company participated in several Liberty loan and Red Cross campaigns, battalion pa- 
rades at Lyons, Sterling and Aldan, and took a very prominent part in a local ‘‘peace cele- 
bration.”” The company served as police on Hallowe’en night, 1918, for the city of Sterling, 
and conducted one military funeral for a local soldier boy, who died in camp, and one for 


their own deceased member. 


The organization participated in the exercises at the opening of the S. A. T. C. at Cooper 


College in Sterling, Kansas.

Company B held regular drills twice a week from the date of organization until October 
15, 1918, at which all public gatherings were prohibited on account of the epidemic which 
passed over the country. 

Company B, 24th Battalion, always arn out well to drills and the members seemed to 
take a great interest in the same. 

There was to be a ‘‘home coming” or county fair at Lyons on October 17, 18 and 19, 
1918, at which there was to be prizes given to the best drilled company of Rice county. Of 
coursé, company B expected to win the first prize and were working hard for it by drilling 
every night for three weeks previous, but the “home coming’ was called off on account of the 
quarantine in October, 1918. 

The 24th Battalion had several battalion dress parades and reviews at Lyons, which were 
attended by large crowds from all over the county, who seemed to be well pleased with the 
parade. Company B participated in several Liberty loan and Red Cross drives. 

On November 11, 1918, company B took part in two large peace parades which were car- 
ried out very successfully.

ACTIVITIES. 


Company B was not called on to do any special service, guard duty, etc. Several squads 
did duty as such both in Red Cross and Liberty loan campaigns. 

The organization, also, conducted military funerals for two boys, of this place, who made 
the supreme sacrifice for our country, and attended the memorial services at the church and 
cemetery as a unit, and did the honors for our country’s dead in a creditable way. 

I am sure that company B would have shown the same spirit, had the opportunity pre- 
sented itself as it did to our boys in the Argonne. They are true Americans and were ready 
for the call to active service.

ACTIVITIES. 


Company A was originally organized on December 14, 1917, as the Seneca Home Guard, 
through the activity of its first captain, Chfford W. Baldwin, and continued as a company of 
the Home Guard until it was mustered in as a company of the Kansas State Guard,.on April 
14, 1918, Clifford W. Baldwin having been commissioned captain, who, together with Second 
Lieutenant Lon H. M. Williams and First Lieutenant Albert A. Reichart, subsequently re- 
signed. Thereupon Lon H. M. Williams was commissioned captain and took charge of the 
company, with John Emery as first leutenant and Roy D. Carpenter as second leutenant. 
Upon the formation of the 27th Battalion, Kansas State Guard, Captain H. M. Williams was 
commissioned major, and Frank L. Geary was commissioned captain and took charge of the 
company. ; 

Company A saw no active service and was not called upon for any service of a public 
nature other than guarding and assisting in a large Red Cross auction, and visiting a few who 
had refused to contribute to the allied war drive, because of the signing of the Armistice. 
Through our explanations and suggestions we obtained a largely increased, if reluctant, contri- 
bution to the fund. 

Twelve members of the organization enlisted, or were inducted into military service; seven 
additional young men enlisted in the 8S. A. T. C. and since the date of the muster-out of the 
company, four other members have enlisted in the regular army.

ACTIVITIES. 


This company was organized as Home Guard, November, 1917, and reorganized into State 
Guard, February 15, 1918. The unit held regular drills twice weekly for the entire company, 
and officers’ school each week until June 20. For two weeks prior to that date the company 
drilled daily, and discontinued drill thereafter for three weeks, while squads went to the sur- 
rounding farms each evening to assist in harvesting and threshing the wheat crop. Exhibition 
drills were held on all legal holidays, either at the armory or in surrounding towns. Company 
A participated in the battalion drill at Lindsborg, Kan., on September 2, 1918, and was re- 
viewed by Adjutant General Charles 8S. Huffman at that time. Our company furnished 
‘ twenty-five United States service men, several of whom won early promotions by virtue of the 
proficiency in drill attained while members of this company. The grain elevators and ware- 
houses at this point were guarded by this company thirty consecutive nights while stocks of 
foodstuffs were largest, during the months of July and August, 1918. members being on duty 
in two details of four men each; each detail on duty four hours nightly. Assisted at the 
burial of two deceased soldiers, one S. A. T. C. student, and one member of this company. 
Company A was the first company organized in this county ; the officers were directed by the 
adjutant general to assist in the organization of other companies in the county. Assistance in 
this respect was rendered at both Moundridge and Inman.

ACTIVITIES. 


Company F participated in a Red Cross sale which was held at Inman in May, 1918. It 
was a decided success and was due mostly to the hard work of the company. 

The unit, also, took an active part in the various drives in the interest of the Red Cross, 
Liberty loans and other war activities. 

In August, 1918, the Guard went on a seven mile hike to the Little Arkansas river, where 
the boys received a little touch of camp life. 

The company had charge of the celebration on signing of the Armistice. A big bonfire in 
the evening and the band of our organization gave a concert. 

On Memorial Day, 1918, the guard marched to the cemetery and decorated the old 
soldiers’ graves and held short services. The guard also conducted a military funeral on 
April 1 for an old veteran, William K. Heller, who passed away on March 31.

ACTIVITIES. 


Company C held drill regularly twice every week during the spring and summer months 
until the fall of 1918. During the fall drill was held regularly once every week up to the 
time of the signing of the Armistice. Battalion drill was held regularly every four weeks. 

The organization was at all times active in keeping the city and community rid of J. W. 
W.’s and pro-Germans. 

A company contest drill was held at Rush Center in the fall and Company C secured the 
second prize, which was a United States flag. 

The organization took an active part in assisting with the Liberty loan and Red Cross 
drives. Captain Brenner was township chairman during each of the bond drives. 

The company has $18.52 on hand which will be turned over to the local Red Cross 
organization. This money was obtained by a dance given in the city of McCracken by the 
company. 

Each member of this organization purchased his own uniform and no assistance was re- 
ceived from the outside.

out and got mouey for these campaigns from those who refused to pay the leader, such as 
slackers. It was reported to me that there was a German preacher at the town of Carneiro, 
who was teaching music, and that he was using such pieces as the German national hymns.  [

Later he was forced to | ave. 

Last summer the company put in two hard nights of drilling every week and participated

Company C was very active in the war work campaigns. Some were on every committee of 


Liberty loan, Red Cross, and all war work. 


All were pushing for victory, of course; how- 


ever, many of the personnel were farmer boys, they could not do as much as those in town, 
because of the shortage of help, but all were doing their full share.

Liberty loan, and Red Cross drives as a company; 


many of the men took part personally. 


We furnished seven details, such as firing squads for funerals and funeral escorts; drilled once 
a week and many times twice a week from May until the Armistice was signed, then attend- 
ance was poor as the influenza was raging and many were afraid to come out to drill. 

The organization was ready at all times to assist wherever needed, but the opportunity

This company was organized by Capt. Earl Ross and Lieut. C. W. Claybaugh and was 
not mustered in by a recruiting officer, as the Armistice was signed before we could have it 


done. Captain Berry of Hutchinson was to have done this. 


This company drilled every Monday night from July 15, 1918, until November 11, 1918, 
and it can be said that its active presence made a decided impression in this particular vicinity, 


which is mostly German.

Hon. J. G. Strong. of Blue Rapids, was present at the mustering-in of the company and 
made a stirring, patriotic address to the crowd of nearly 500 people who had assembled for 
the occasion. 

Details were made for every Liberty loan drive, also Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross cam-

Red Cross work; in fact, the company was on hand whenever there was anything doing. It 
conducted military funerals for members of our company who died and assisted at the fu-

vain for the services of Company A, Kansas State Guard. We were ready, day or night, to 
do what could be done to the best of our ability, and I wish to state that it is a great pleas- 
ure to have had the honor of commanding this company.

The Winfield company. Kansas State Guard, was called upon to perform guard duty at 
nights at the library in this city, which was at that time headquarters for the Cowley chap- 
ter of the Red Cross. This duty was performed throughout the spring and summer of 1918. 
The company was also called out upon several occasion to do guard duty over the mills and 
wholesale groceries of the city upon occasions which were deemed advisable. As the indi- 
viduals of the organization were nearly all members of the local committee to work for the 
Liberty loans, Red Cross and other campaigns, the organization did not take part in any of 
these campaigns as a unit. The company was also called out for duty in connection with the 
work of these campaigns, at one time to perform guard duty and handle the crowd at a war 
exhibition train, and at another time to guard a government airship which remained in 
town some twenty-four hours. 

All other work was of a routine nature, the company drilling once a week regularly, until 
after the Armistice was signed. A good attendance was the rule and consequently the men 
progressed nicely in close order drill and were given considerable work in extension order 
formation, guard duty, etc.
